The AAAI-13 Conference Committee is pleased to announce the continuation of the Student Abstract and Poster Program at AAAI-13 in Bellevue, Washington, USA, July 14-18, 2013.

In 2013, the focus of the Student Abstract Program has been broadened to encourage participation by undergraduate students. The goal of this program is to provide a forum in which students can present and discuss their work during its early stages, meet some of their peers who have related interests, and introduce themselves to more senior members of the field. Additionally, there will be undergraduate-specific activities including mentoring.

Accepted abstracts will be allocated presentation time and space in the student poster display area at the conference. Student authors of accepted abstracts must agree to prepare a poster representing the work described in their abstracts and to be available to discuss their work with visitors during their allocated time in the student poster display area. Abstracts will be published in the AAAI-13 proceedings.

Submissions are due Thursday, January 31, 2013. Prospective authors are required to register at the AAAI-13 Student Abstract submission site, which will be available in December. For further information about the program, as well as paper formatting and submission requirements, please review the Call for Abstracts at http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/AAAI/2013/aaai13studentcall.php.
